The department of Managerial Economics, Strategy & Innovation (KU Leuven) has a vacancy for one full-time PhD scholarship starting in September 2021, for a period of 4 years.
The researcher to be hired will work in the field of the economics of science and innovation under the supervision of a team consisting of Prof. Stijn Kelchtermans (MSI), Prof. Cindy Lopes Bento (MSI), Prof. Arvids Ziedonis (MSI), prof. Sandra Rousseau (CEDON) and prof. Nick Deschacht (ECON). The research project should lead to a PhD degree in Business Economics.
The project will analyze the composition of scientific teams and the relation with funding success, productivity and the career progress of their members. Methodologically, the emphasis lies on quantitative methods (econometric analysis) guided by theory development. A large database has been collected for the project but needs to be cleaned for analysis. It follows that the candidate is expected to have excellent hands-on data skills or is willing to invest in such skills (in particular in Stata).
He/she will find a dynamic and pleasant working environment, in a group that is actively involved in scientific research at the highest international level. The team is based on the Brussels campus, but the PhD student will participate in department seminars on the Leuven campus as well.
Candidates are expected to participate in seminars and conferences, be internationally mobile and to enroll in (and successfully complete) the PhD program in Business Economics.
The candidate can be asked to give guidance to Bachelor and Master students, to be involved in teaching activities and to supervise exams.
